Nice review. Hits all the high points and practical elements of the truck.👍

"A step here" rear bumper hangs off 🤣

I came here to look at a review because I’d seen some parked up at a dealership in Lincolnshire. They shocked me; surface rust was present on the chassis. Okay, they have a 5 year warranty. Rusting, already, means in the damp U.K., they probably won’t survive many years beyond their warranty.

Not a bad looking pickup. That electric sound is pretty cool. The rear tailgate looks very American, in my opinion. What do you think? :)

[mikewalker]

How long does it take to charge roughly at a garage as i dont have the possibility of a home charger

[georgedaville]

Serious contender for first UK market entry. Saic have a good EV pedigree already. This is a good looking, practical vehicle that ticks a lot of boxes. I wonder how many people actually use 4WD in anger in the real world. I’ve had a 4WD drive in the household for last 7 years, and can only remember one early morning airport trip when it was snowing heavily, and it felt more secure, although with standard tyres, grip was comprised! Good review as always Ben👍

I took one for a spin recently, and was very underwhelmed by it.

It felt very cheap and low quality. Thin steel, a few shitty welds, no cruise control is just a joke. Also the choice to have Apple car play but not Android auto.

And that 3 pin is 150w. You're not running anything off that really. Neither power tools nor coffee marker will work off that.

And it costs as much as the peugeot e-expert pickup here in sweden. Which won't do offroad like this, but has similar specs and better quality on road.

This is a mean machine no doubt about it..if I looked in the mirrors & saw one coming up behind me I'd think let it pass 😁 As you said Ben in cars the ev's add going on for up to £10k if not more to the price of a petrol/diesel vehicle wher as this is the same price 🤔 needs addressing in the car manufacturers agenda! surprised no DAB radio on a vehicle costing so much 🤔 but overall the styling looks pretty damn good on the eye...hope you git the loose gravel swept up before you gave the dealership the vehicle back 😉 can't believe that was filming in the lakes as it was cold, damp & gloomy 😂😂😂😂excellent review as always planet auto 🚘 👍

[ianwalker]

Ah, good old Cumbrian weather. I really like the look of this, I want one as a second vehicle for short stop start journeys, just the thing that kills modern diesels with stupid EGR and DPF strangulators !

[andyrobinson]

Great review and the first full one I've seen. I think other car reviews will miss the point of this pickup by comparing it to a 4x4 or stating it's caring specs are less and doesn't tow enough. I think it will suit many trades people who use small two seat work vans and have a cheap second car this double cab could replace. Also most who have a diesel pickup don't use it's full capacity because they don't work on a farm so electric will work perfectly. Personally I'd like one to replace my ZS ev.

Crazy over seas this is a commercial vehicle

[deanwarren]

😂 Step nearly falls off 8 minutes in.. I think i will wait a few more years 🇬🇧 for some proper trucks to come

[dahotrod]

You can have the t90 for the same price as a diesel hilux. I'll take the hilux as it will last longer than 10 years and can offroad...

If you want a quality cheap Chinese pickup, get a greatwall.

[peterhowson-pfvo]

Tows a braked trailer of only 1.5T. A 220 mile range but that’s not towing. And it’s not 4WD. No use to me to tow cars. The vehicle I currently use to transport cars tows 3.2T, is permanent 4WD and has a towing range of over 300 miles and is ready to go again in 5 minutes. These electric vehicles have a long way to go to be truly commercial options for serious trades

[garrycroft]

A YouTube guy has just got one for £99 per month.

[alsouthall]

This is rubbish no use in real world work environment

[soniatg]

he copies his style from high peak autoes guy.
